A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Rachel and I’m almost 17 years old. I’m currently ahead in college through the Middle College program and will be graduating high school soon. I’m very responsible, organized, and dependable. At my current job, I was promoted to Shift Lead, where I supervise team members and handle important responsibilities — which has helped me grow a lot in maturity and leadership.
I’ve babysat my neighbors’ children and genuinely love spending time with kids. I enjoy staying active, going to the gym, hiking, and being outdoors. I’m also an animal lover (I have three cats!) and am comfortable helping with pets. I like meal prepping and keeping things clean and organized, so I’m happy to help around the house as well. I would love to provide a safe, positive, and fun environment for your family!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Samantha and I have many years of unpaid and paid experience with childcare. I grew up an older sister and when I was 15, my dad remarried, and I gained a perfect 2 year old sister. Because both my dad and step-mom worked, I have been taking care of my younger sister for years. I have looked after her, my three year old brother, and my three and seven year old cousins for their whole lives, usually all at once. I am very well versed in children’s needs and how they function. I also was a behavioral therapist for young children with autism for a period of time. Although this technically wasn’t a childcare program, I gained very valuable experience with caring for and working with children who are unrelated to me. School is always my number-one priority but of course, I am very passionate about working with children. In fact, I am going to school to become a teacher and hopefully help educate the next generation.
